MNN. LAND CAREGIVERS VS. CORPORATE DEMOLISHERS. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 is a British order-in-council issued by King George III to establish the basis for relations with indigenous peoples on onowarekeh turtle island. All lands were to be retained by the indigenous and the settlers were to be restricted. The king of England bankrolled the colonial encroachment backed with military force. It was to be the framework for relations between the king’s colonial settlers and the indigenous peoples. This agreement is the foundation of Canada’s responsibilities for all of the Canadian and US colonial settlers. This is the framework for true reconciliation. Canada is still a colony of Britain and its relationship with the indigenous is based on the Royal Proclamation 1763.
In a true democracy the indigenous people are the caretakers of all lands upon mother earth. We must all remember the truth that on this planet all living things have the same mother. She is the earth. We have the same source energy as the father. Therefore, we are all brothers and sisters. So we shall survive and coexist as family operating on our mother earth. The colony of Canada used their corporate culture to make money and cut throat competition to destroy our individual rights, freedom and equality. In 1701 Queen Anne of Britain set up the Indian Trust Fund with our money, the only money around at the time. We were then declared as ‘wards of the state’. They needed our money and resources to make money as they came to turtle island with nothing. Kingston was the first capital of Canada in 1701 right in the middle of the Mohawk heartland. They made themselves the trustee of the Indian monies that came from native investments, loans, rentals and leases. None was paid back to us yet. We continue to have a lien on onowarekeh turtle island from ocean to ocean and from north to south turtle island. The King still represents the colonists and the only one who can deal with us on our rights on our homeland of turtle island on behalf of their people. He is suppose to protect us from the hordes who came.
The King still represents the colonists and is still the only one who can deal with us on our rights on turtle island on behalf of their people. He did not stop them from swarming over here. The King knows this as he showed us in his recent trip to Canada. He came here to sign away his trusteeship in Parliament but got a letter from a clan mother that he could not and then went home.
We were not an illiterate people. We used wampum belts and our minds to record our interactions and review them regularly in our councils and clans in the longhouse. The monarchy of England acknowledged our sovereignty and for our right to continue to exist and carry out our duties to take care of the earth where we were placed by nature. The Royal Proclamation 1763 respected our rights to care for ourselves and not to be tampered with. They had no choice but to respect our sovereignty.
The Royal Proclamation 1763 affirmed our guardianship of onowarekeh turtle island which we’ve had since time immemorial. The King declared on behalf of his subjects that no colonial entity, private individual or corporation would ever interfere with us. Their stay on our land was limited according to our wishes. US, UK and the colony of Canada has to go through the King to confer with us on all issues regarding our sovereignty. The King declared, “I am now the one that must deal with you on all matters regarding turtle island and we will be your protectors ffrom the intruders”. They could never evade the indigenous who were confronting them. We had this right before the Royal Proclamation 1763 and before they came here.
When the Jay Treaty of Trade and Commerce 1794 was being enacted the Kaiser of Germany insisted Article II be included to protect the indigenous so that the corporations of US and the colony of Canada did not discard the original people or the proclamation. All other European powers backed away to recognize British responsibility to support our sovereignty on turtle island. No one could limit our assertion of our sovereignty. Anything Germany had to do had to go through the King.
Pontiac showed what indigenous people were capable of doing if the Crown did not respect our ties to all our territories. It was called “a treaty of offence and defence” where we would have a right to defend ourselves anytime we decided. Belts were to be brought out every year to remind everybody of this proclamation. The wampum belts were presented to assure that the basis of our relationship was between original indigenous titleholders and North America and the King. Our dealings were to be only with the federal crown on behalf of the King. The Provinces have no say. It is now time for the provinces to get off our backs.
The King is reminded that the Royal Proclamation is an agreement to protect us and our land from the foreign usurpers. Students and academics must now learn the rightness of our people. The King, the colony of Canada and the provinces do not own one square inch of turtle island. We never allowed anyone to remove any of our “Indian interest” on any of our land. The government, churches and society have tried to remove and murder our children and our people to hide the truth from us and the world which failed. 
The belts should be in the hands of the indigenous people. Not stolen and displayed in your museums or hidden or sold to collectors. We will remind the European royal families who hold those belts that we presented them in 1710 and of their responsibility to us right now. We offer our services to them to translate these belts given to them and all the agreements they made when they accepted them from us. Russia has already agreed to have a meeting with us regarding the six wampum belts that Peter the Great accepted in London in 1710 from the Rotinishonni Confederacy.
REMEMBER, WE NEVER RAN FROM YOU. WE ALWAYS TRIED TO MAKE PEACE.
